Hey guys, I am having really good results with Insanity Asylum but I am also sweating like crap. So I was wondering whether you guys can help me determine how many calories I burn in one workout of Asylum. I am 185 and am 17 years old.

    The best thing to do is get an HRM.

    I agree, a heart rate monitor will tell you how much calories you burned. I was amazed when I wore mine to a Zumba class. Total burned for 55 minutes was 708 calories. If it wasn't for the heart rate monitor, I would have estimated between 350-400 calories.

    What if I do not have a HRM? Just a basic estimate?

    Not possible as everyones bodies, even those of same height and weight, will burn calories at a different rate.

    Calories burned are based on different factors: weight, age, height, sex, HR, etc. I could not afford a really nice one but this one takes into account your weight and HR and I feel it is fairly accurate. The really nice ones cost quite a bit more and if I had the budget I would so buy one. Look on amazon.com for one.
